2weeks

its been 2 weeks since school started.. it seems like a mightly long time during the week but now i htink back, it seems like yesterday that i was at work and starting school. i've been quite lazy and not studied as much as i did last year. i think its time to start. the IGCSE exams are coming. School is not easy as i get loads of homework. i have yet to start on my weekend homework. its quite a lot. i am wondering how i'll survive with a he** of a lot more work.

I fished with Andrea, Elvis and Guo rong on tuesday and got my first 3 peacock bass for the year. all of them were on lures. Perhaps i am not that bad at lure fishing! i wont be fishing much for the rest of the year. perhaps maybe 3 times? it won't be easy but the time should be spent studying. I remember some of my buddies telling me to study more when the exams finally came around and get off forum. which is what i did.

anw.. off to study now.. bye bye!

day 3

the title says it all.. its day 3 at school... its killing me.. we got homework! i've just about done all that i know how to do.. tomorrow will ask the cher how to do the rest... its been a fun 3 days but somewhat different from my first 3 days at acs int. the school is so huge now.. its like 400 people!?!?! gigantic sia... to think jus 2 months ago we only had around 200 people... i can now kiss goodbye to playing badminton in the mornings before school as with so many people, more chairs were needed and so chairs were placed on the last remaining court. However, before break, these irritating chairs are removed and the courts are free to allow us to play on them.

i've got new teachers for chinese, math, english, biology and physics. I'm relieved that Mr Chen is still teaching me add math as hes a good teacher. in a way i am relieved Mrs Mok is teaching me english as she has a good reputation and is the head of department of english. The math teacher Mrs Lee owes me a coffee from starbucks as i brought graph paper when no one else in class did... this was all in the first lesson which made it very memorable...

I think back on the holidays sometimes and i miss work- A WHOLE LOT! i loved my time working with the animals and handling them. i learnt an immense amount in the span of just a 2 months! its been fantastic... even though some days i had to wake up freaking early. I have yet to finish my essay about time i had at work. haha.

when i look at the photos i took, it brings back so many fond memories. it makes me miss the wonderful bunch of people i used to see at work everyday when i turned up. i'm glad that Winnie who is one of my ex collegues, and i are in contact and chatting whenever we can... hope that we'll meet up for coffee sometime... haha...

now that i'm on the subject of friends and work and stuff, i'm kinda kicking myself for not bringing friends to work... friends being people like Ernest, Ming Rong, Kathi, Charmaine, Jasmine and last but not least, Nick. aww well.. whats done is done.. so i'll just wait for the next opportunity... i miss wearing that staff shirt. its something i wore with pride and was always happy to put it on. well.. God willing, i'll be back at work again! haha..

well.. back to studying now... bye bye!!

reflections

God does speak to us... i remember at the start of the year after moving school Auntie Kooi Lian saying," This year will be a very interesting year for you. God has told me so... so just work hard and do your best." Yes the year was interesting, it was just facinating... my results steadily improved, i finished top 25 in the national interschools sailing championship in july in the B div Byte class. what else happened? lots more! got some new fishing tackle, scored 100 fish on fly in june, 350 fish in the year end holiday, i learnt to fly raptors and have found a new interest- birds which has made me think about taking vet science as a first degree after national service. Marine biology is also on the menu.

I finished at the end of the year with 1s for add math, physics (2nd in level[so unbelievable]), economics (also 2nd in level [THANKS MUM! U HELPED A LOT!]} and chinese {God's grace}. 2s for english, math, biology and lastly, a 3 for chemistry which was also fantastic as i thought i would fail chemistry and like... i was honestly not confident of myself.

I studied a lot of the time and hardly played but when i did get off my bum and away from my desk, i played as hard as i could and i can honestly say that i fished till my arm was aching! God has changed me to someone more diciplined and i pray that he will continue to shape me to shine for him.

memories memories... some of them hurt some of them don't. the hard work was sure hurting immediately after the exams but when the results came, i was so shocked i forgot all about the work and almost fell off my chair! i remember i cried when my girlfriend and i split up. i think i was an extremely horrible boyfriend as i didnt call her or message her much. so it caused us to grow apart.

well.. the holidays were alright just that some people didnt spend my bday with me and i ended up working.. aww well.. it was fun.. actually,i've been working almost the whole holiday so yeah... like that... tomorrow is a holiday and i'll be studying.. i'm knocking off from work now.. its my last day...
